NEW THEORY OF THE BUTTER cLoBuLE.

Henry Stewart discourses interestingly in the New York Times on the theory of butter making. The fat globules in the milk he says are very small-not more than I-2500 to I-4500 of an inch in diameter. They float in the milk in the form of an emulsion, and do not have any covering or enclosing pelicle as was formerly sup posed and taught by various dairy lectur- CTS, who spread the idea abroad with fam tastical embellishments equally visionary in regard to the operation of churning. Thus it was said and taught to dairymen that the cream should should be forced through narrow spaces between the churn and the dasher, so that thls pellicle could be rubbed and worn off or ruptured and this theory, requiring great neal of labor to carry it out, has inflicted lifelong iniu- ries upon many a dairyman's wife who used the old fashioned up-and-down churn, which was recommended as the best for this rubbing process. MT. Stewart claims that he was the first person in America to show by numerous microscopical examina- tions and by making and churning arti6c- ial cream and comparing this with common cream, that the butter globule was simply a small particle or drop of oil suspended in viscous and adherent fluid, and differ. ed physically in no degree from an arti6c- 1al emulsion or OH m an aDumlnouB or gummy fluid. This explanation of tho character of milk and cream is now fully accepted, and the old theory is. discarded, with the result of completely changing the common belief in regard to churning and the action of the churn. No dasher is needed in churn. All that is required is to create certain agitation and concus- sion of the cream, so that its particles are violently dashed together, when, if the temperature is just right, the small, fat globules adhere together and gradually form masses, which, under microscope of high power, appear like raspberries or a bunch of small particles adherine loosely together in a menstrum of buttermilk. Formerly butter was churned until if form ed large lump in the churn it was then taken out and squeezed and slashed in bowl or upon a slab, with the ladle or by the hands, to get rid of the 'buttermilk which was contained in it. The result was that either tho buttermilk, not wholly re- moved, spoiled the butter very quickly, or the grain of the butter was injured.

Hartford Post: Last Friday morning MT. Paul Sagar, life insurance agent do- ing business in this city, but living in Rockville, got aboard the 720 train from Rockville at Buckland. Several passen- gers saw him running down the lane at Buckland to catch the train, and noticed a pair of horses at the head of the lane look ing as if they had been driven very hard.
 After he came into the car Mir. Sagar told how he came running. down Fox Hill in Rockville, when the train started of with out him. A man with a pair of horses was near by, and MT. Sagar hired him to try and catch the train at Vernon. So of they started, minute behind the train, up over New England hill and down thro' Vernon Center, one horse on keen run and the other trotting. Before reaching Vernon they saw across the country, 8 mile away, the train was about ready to start, and so they went along the old turn pike, hoping to head the train off at Tal- cottville. But as they went tearing thro' that place the locomotive whistle told them
 the train would get to the station first, and so on they went. Going through Man chester the railroad bears off to the south, while the turnpike goes nearly in straight line, the two coming nearer together at Buckland, here was where the horses, white with lather, caught the train, ac- cording to the story MT. Sagar told the credulous passengers. None of them be- ieved the story then, but for the sake of satisfying themselves inquiries were made at Rockville that night, and several per- sons saw what occurred there in the morn ing just as MT. Sagar related it. The horses are pair of year old bays, owned by MT. E. s. Allen of Melrose or Spring field, well-known as'"Tip Allen, who was stopping in Rockville. Now for the time and distance. The train left Rockville at 7.20 and Buckland at q AS, leaving 28 min utes the regular running time. The train made seven stops. The distance by turn pike is between eight and nine miles, and, as the horses were handicapped one min ute at starting, their running" time was 27 minutes. Rockville horses for years have been known to catch the train either at West street or Vernon, and many times Manchester horses have reached Bolton

Our consul at Ottawa, Thomas w.. Hotchkiss, seems to understand himself. He declined to lend the flags of the consu- late for use in the O'Brisn demonstration on the ground that the flags of the consul late were not kept for party purposes. This was very sensible, although Irishmen are denouncing him in resolutions. A consular officer is in international law the guest of the government to which he is ac- credited and precluded by that fact from taking any hand in domestic questions.

GENERAL: At full meeting of the
Joint Memorial Day Committee from the
three Posts of this city, it was unani-
mously voted that the National Guard
of California stationed here be invited to
act as escort to the Grand Army in
their parade on Memorial Day, May 80,
1887. Through some Misrepresentation,
misconception or misunderstanding
of the intent of this vote, in endeav-
oring to carry out the wishes of the
committee, the invitation was sent to
Major Russell instead of to yourself.
The committee were not apprised OF this
fact until too late TO remedy the mistake
which had been made. The members of
the committee are unanimous in their
expressions of regret at this blunder, and
in their assurance that there can be no
warmer feeling of friendship existing
between parties than does exist between
the entire membership of the Grand
Army here and yourself, and of a full
appreciation of your many kindnesses to
us in the past.
We ask you so accept the sincere apol-
ogy of this committee for this seeming
though entirely unintentional slight.
